I sold three copies of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" to
friends, not long ago. One of them, fifty years of age, said to me, "I
never had one day's sickness in my life; but after reading Science and
Health I found that I was bruised and mangled, from the crown of my head
to the soles of my feet. I have been reaching after something that, before
reading Science and Health, seemed to me unattainable;" and with tears in
her eyes, she rejoiced in the God of her salvation. Did not Jesus say, "If
these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out"?

For eight years I suffered terribly with my eyes; I could not read fifteen
minutes without the most agonizing sick headache. Oculists called it a
case of double vision, and said that the only chance for a cure lay in

illuminated. I said, "This is everything or nothing; if everything, then
you need no glasses." I took off the heavy ground glasses, and went on.
What a terrible headache I had the next morning! but I fought it with the
truth laid down in the book. I said again, "This is everything or
nothing," and the truth triumphed. The headache ceased, but I felt
miserably. I recalled what was said about chemicalization, and persevered.
In four days my eyes were well; I read as many hours a day as I pleased;
my strength returned. I conquered one belief after another, until now,
strong and well, I meet every belief with confidence. "I will fear _no_
evil: for _Thou_ art with me." For two years I have realized the peace and
confidence which the knowledge that God is all-powerful and always pre
